The Ministry of Culture launched the 'Al Baraha' event taking place at Ain Khaled's Umm Al Seneem Park on February 16 and 17.

The event comes within the framework of activating community partnerships and promoting culture and cultural industries, in cooperation with the Ministry of Municipality and the Ministry of Social Development and Family.

In her statement today, Director of the Culture and Arts Department at the Ministry of Culture Mariam Yassin Al Hammadi said that the Ministry aims to provide the general public with the right to participate in culture by holding the 'Baraha' event at the Al Furjan Parks, which are parks located amongst residential areas in order to facilitate the residents' access to cultural activities.

'Al Baraha' aims to advance social communication by giving parks a cultural function and reviving the Qatari traditional space and concept of Al Baraha. Moreover, it also aims to discover and invest in all kinds of talents whether literary, artistic, or cultural, through offering workshops and activities held in a traditional atmosphere.

Over the past two days, a number of Ministry of Culture-affiliate entities and centers held artistic and cultural events and activities, such as the Theater Affairs Center holding various workshops for kids, and the Nomas Center introducing children to Qatari customs and traditions.

The Ministry of Culture holds the event in different areas across the country in order to widen the cultural reach to all corners of the State of Qatar, with the aim of embedding culture in the social fabric.
